Diminished my debt. 3 months ago

Ok I have to pay off my Best Buy and Capital one credit card. So I have this plan. It’s not a really big debt, but my plan is to pay off my Best Buy card first and then the Capital one. My monthly bill for both cards is $10 a month and I owe $2xx.xx on my Best buy card & $4xx.xx on the Capital one. I plan to pay at least $50 out of my checks starting this payday to pay off the best buy card and pay the minimum payment for the capital one for now. I figured after 4-5 paydays my best buy card will be paid off and then I can cancel it and then I can start paying $50 a month to my Capital one card & pay it off. Also if I have extra money I’ll put in a little more so I can finish paying all this off for good.

A little self-control here please! 1 year ago

Ok so I got this quicken software working a couple weeks ago and found out for the last 4 years where my money was mostly going; I was afraid to look at it. I’m guilty for shopping a lot! YUP cloths. I’ve stop wasting money like I use to, I’m starting to be more money savvy about this whole spending thing.

My main focus right now is to:

1.Control my spending!
2.Financial educate myself more.
3.Raise my income and degrade the outcome.
4.Figure out my income and what goes out monthly.
5.Set a budget.
6.Figure out alternative ways to spend more wisely.
7.Don’t spend more than I make!

Right now I saved money by quitting smoking a long time ago, it was a big burden on the income. Plus I’m healthier.

I cancelled my gym pass and started working out at home.

I actually stop eating out a lot. I started cooking.

I don’t buy cds or dvds anymore. I actually burn my cds and borrow dvds from people now.

Also, I drive a big truck and it eats up to much gas, so I don’t drive as much no more. Only when I need too.

Event and issues concerning. 2 years ago

Hello everybody!

I think this is a great objective, especially because I live in Las Vegas and they just passed this Law banning people from feeding the homeless. What a terrible decision the city of Las Vegas ordinance made. They say the law was passed to help cut down the homeless population in Las Vegas, to get the homeless to go to the shelter instead, so they could get help to get back on their feet; but instead I think this violates free speech and other rights and banning people from committing a random act of kindness is just ridiculous. I’m just surprised about this whole issue, especially after going to this great can drive held by the people of Las Vegas.

A couple months ago I went to this event which my cousin was help setting up, it was hosted by the rock steady crew and other hip hop peers and some people from the Las Vegas ordinance. Called the ” YES WE CAN CAN DRIVE” They had dancing, dj’s and art galleries set up for people to enjoy, there was only one suggestion to get in and that was to bring as much can food and blanket, cloths, to donate and they got a big response from a lot of locals and out of state visitors and raised thousands of can food.

GYM. 2 years ago

Yeah after a night out my sister, cousin and I decided to go to the gym about 11:30 to 1:00 in the morning. Just got home from that. It was cool, just a small workout, it was late so it wasn’t crowded like usual, we did alittle running and played a little hoops and then weight lift, and headed home and relaxed, so today was a good day.

Sarcastically Misunderstood. 2 years ago

I have to work on my sarcastic humor! I know it’s one of my flaws which I really want to change. It’s funny to some people that I make sarcastic remarks and as I have seen not to all people. It could get annoying sometimes and rub some people the wrong way. Unfortunately conveying laughter using irony isn’t working. I’m tired of the witty and sarcastic behavior I have; so im going to find sense of humor somewhere else.

Secret of success! 2 years ago

Ok, so I’ve been reading the “Peak To Peek Principle” lately. One quote from Robert H. Schuller that entice me to keep on reading was it said that the secret of success is simple:

“Find a hurt and heal it; find a problem and solve it; find an obstacle and remove it, bridge it, or turn it into an opportunity!”

“Find a need and fill it.”

I figured! 2 years ago

Ok in order to save money. I’m going to have to make a plan, Also I keep all my receipt and transaction receipt so I’m going to have to start recording my money spending again, so I can find out were I’m spending my money at. My needs, utilities, bills, school, etc; and next make a budget. I’m going to do this by using the quicken software I have on my computer which I never bothered to use. I was roaming around with quicken and find it useful.

This will help me make good decision’s when spending money. Also to use my money for more important things rather then wasting it on unnecessary items.
